Sara Prescott, LMBT NC Lic#06410, has been recently certified as a Nurturing the Mother®Pregnancy Massage Therapist by Claire Marie Miller Seminars, one the nation’sleaders in massage therapy. This program is approved by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.

Sara is available to offer safe and therapeutic pregnancy massage, labor support massage, postpartum massage, and newborn massage instruction. The Nurturing the Mother® program includes massage for each trimester and relief for the common discomforts the mother may be experiencing. Sara is also trained in Labor Support Massage, which can be utilized throughout the labor or by training the mother’s partner in how to give massage in labor. As the mother returns to her pre-pregnant state, Sara’s postpartum massage techniques will aid in the realignment and the recovery of her body. Sara can also offer guidance to the new parent to give newborn massage as learned under the Nurturing the Mother® program.

Research has shown that pregnancy massage strengthens the immune system, decreases blood pressure, decreases stress hormones,SHORTENS LABOR TIME, and helps restore the body in the postpartum phase. This research is documented by the Touch Research of Miami, Florida, and the work of Tiffany Fields.

Sara began her journey as a massage therapist in July of 2006. She studied at Pitt Community College, where she received an AAS in Therapeutic Massage. Sara is currently pregnant with her first child, and wants to make a positive impact in the lives of other pregnant women and their families. She wants to offer her services to assist pregnant women during their journey into motherhood, whether it be their first or fifth pregnancy, by offering pregnancy massage, postpartum massage and infant and newborn massage instruction.
